On the Goth, in the Senate. Hon. John
Sherman Offered an amendment to be pro-
posed to the sundry civil bill to approrri
ate So ,0G0 to put new fences around the
cemeteries in which confederate dead are
buried near Columbus, Ohio and on john
sons Ireland. Accompanying the amend
ment is an extract from the recent annual
message of Gov. Foraker, in which he re-
fers to the dilapidated condition of the
fences and the neglected state of the
grounds, and adds THE hatred and de-
hesitation that all loyal people must and
should ever entertain for the destructive
political doctrines that these men fought
for ought not to stand in the way of either
a cordial feeling toward the living who
have abandoned such heresies, or proper
regard and Christian respect for the
graves of the dead who, although wron,
heroically and vigorously commended for
the convictions they entertained"

have been quenched in the blackness of
shame Those who doubt must wait
Perhaps there waiting will not be long

l shrink with unfeigned horror from
the idea of uttering any over-corfdent
belief as to the fate of this young mans
soul, A reporter asked me if l thought
that he was prepared for heaven. That
question did not dare to answer. Those

of God and urged him to hang his hopes
upon the cross. With that. if faithfully
done, my duty ended.
1t is q matter of fact, however, that the
young man met his death with extraordi-
nary compOsure. and declared in his last
moments that his trust was in Christ as
his Savior, and that he did not dread the
future. In my Judgment that profession
of faith must have been unayailing. if
with his dying lips he refused TO uncover
a murderer's secret.
But if he was, as he said he was, inno-
cent Of the crime, and his faith was vital
and penitent, then there was for him a glo-
rious reward beyond the confines of that
darkness out of which he was so suddenly
thrust.
One thing, and that the last in his life,
